Make Time by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky offers a refreshing approach to managing time and productivity, designed to help individuals step off the hamster wheel of constant busyness. The authors, creators of Google Ventures' "design sprint," share a practical four-step framework to optimize energy, focus, and attention—without overwhelming readers with unrealistic expectations or extreme lifestyle changes.
Instead of focusing on traditional productivity methods or filling every moment with tasks, Make Time emphasizes intentionality and the importance of creating space for what matters most. The book provides a customizable set of bite-sized strategies and tactics that can be adapted to any lifestyle, aiming to combat the distractions of modern life without advocating for extreme measures like quitting social media or eliminating technology.
The goal of the book is to help readers break free from the default mode of constant busyness and regain control of their time. By making small, intentional shifts in daily routines, readers can start prioritizing activities that bring meaning and fulfillment, rather than merely reacting to external demands. It’s perfect for anyone who feels overwhelmed by their schedules and wants to find a more balanced, focused approach to their day-to-day life.
Make Time encourages readers to become the architects of their time, fostering greater control, clarity, and purpose in their daily lives.
